The clerk's certified mailing is the default; a written request for personal or residence service moves the summons to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Ashtabula County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A village with two ZIP codes may leave a plaintiff unsure of the defendant's exact address, which matters because a refused or unclaimed mailing falls on the plaintiff to catch; Civ.R. 4.6(E) makes the serving party responsible for checking whether service was made. If hand delivery is needed, Civ.R. 4.1 supplies the sheriff or a court-designated person. See the Ohio sheriff guide.
